You are looking at a pillow cover made of a faux-ikat fabric. These fabrics are considered vintage and becoming a rarity. The fabric is an ikat print fabric made in circa 1970-1080 Soviet Uzbekistan.

Soviet faux-ikat print fabric

During the Soviet era ikat artisanal craftsmanship was ceased. Partly because artisanal work was considered to be a private business while the Soviet regime only allowed state owned production. Having a side private business, which generated some extra cash was considered to be a crime by the Soviet law. In addition, industrialization of the economy was one of the main goals of the Soviet state. Banning artisanal craftsmanship was a way to force artisans to join Soviet textile factories.

Simplified ikat print pattern

Ikat print patterns of the Soviet fabrics were significantly simplified. Elaborate detailed work required more time while the goal was to produce more fabrics to satisfy textile needs of the population. Some ikat patterns which existed in early 20^th century were lost during the Soviet Union days. They were revived through Western catalogs after 1991 (the year the USSR collapsed).

Machine woven ikat pattern + handloom woven solid green fabric

The faux ikat fabric used for one side of the pilliow cover is machine-woven vintage fabric. The reverse bright green fabric is a handloom woven adras fabric made nowadays. The bright green solid fabric has a beautiful moire pattern.

Fits US lumbar pillow inserts

This ikat print pillow cover closes with an invisible zipper on a side and fits standard 12" x 24" (31cm x 61xm) lumbar pillow inserts which are widely available online.
